Mineral Policy Center is a small national non-profit environmental organization dedicated to cleaning up the environmental problems caused by mining and onshore oil development, and to preventing new ones.

Detailed Information:
We use three strategies: (1) we research and publicize the massive environmental problems mining causes, and the special financial subsidies current laws give to mining corporations; (2) we educate and assist grassroots citizens groups working with conservation problems arising from the 1872 Mining Law, Clean Water Act violations, and mining projects; (3) we lobby for reform of the 1872 Mining Law, the Clean Water Act and RCRA (as they apply to mining), and other laws and Federal agency regulations for mining.
